I don't think you can get a scope like the 2465 for a couple of hundred dollars. That's a FOUR channel 300MHz scope. It looks like the seller has more than one. Yeah, there's a reason the Tek 2465 is still expensive. They go for $150+ *nonworking*.
Wow! when I was looking for a nice scope in the early 2000s, I knew I wanted a Tek, and I wanted a 4 channel scope. I think the 2465 happened to be the most economical option on eBay at the time, so I picked it up. I have been more than pleased with it through the years, favoring it for work even after buying a DSO with more features, lighter weight, and less bulk. But, I had no idea the unit was so well received. I admit, I looked at the lot and noticed the 2465 immediately. I considered a purchase, but the lot size, location, and lack of need for another 2465 made me hesitate. But, FWIW, I love my 2465. I am sure others may disagree, but I always felt Tek made the best analog scopes, and HP made the best LAs. So, that's what I own.
